The NTI-TSS - Nocieceptive Trigeminal Inhibition - Tension Suppression System is a device that fits over the 2 front top incisors to prevent them from touching the lower teeth, thereby decreasing muscle tension.
NTI -Tension Suppression System a device that prevents medically diagnosed migraine pain, tension-type headache, jaw disorders ("TMJ"), without drugs or surgery, through the reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.
The NTI-tss device reduces clenching intensity by exploiting the mechanisms of the incisor teeth and by preventing the engagement of the canine and molar teeth when the jaw is centered and when it is in excursive positions.
Custom made to fit each patient’s unique bite, the NTI-TSS appliance features a snap-in fit to stay secure during the night.
The duration of the NTI-tss device is dependent on the intensity of the patient's grinding, not clenching.
